I have a 5 month old female pomeranian and her DR. said that her knee caps are out of place and will need surgery in the near future to fix them. What is the best insurance to use ?

Answer
This will be tricky because now that it has been diagnosed, it is considered a pre-existing condition which no one will cover. If your vet says it is a genetic problem, look into Embrace pet insurance. They are the only company I know of that will cover genetic breed related diseases.

If her knee caps are really bad, it is important to fix them soon. Otherwise, her legs may grow crooked and predispose her to ACL tears and hip problems.

Hi:
I was wondering which pet insurance is the best and most reliable for my 1 years old mini schnauzer?(I do not want to spend too much, but still need the basic stuff such as vaccine...etc) In addition, I am planning to buy another one, so will there be any discount for 2 dogs in the same plan?
thanks for answer me.
I am using Banfield right now, but I do not think it is worth it to get what I paid.

She is a 8 month old Shitzu and we want to get her insurance. We live in San Diego, California
Also, is insurance recommended?

Answer
I have VPI Pet Insurance, and it is great. I paid $300 for the year (slightly more if you pay monthly), and it has almost paid itself off and I purchased it mid-March.

They have a vaccination reimbursement that goes along with the insurance, so depending on how expensive your vet is, you will get a portion of the cost of all needed vaccinations, as well as spay/nueter procedure, microchip, fecal exam, and flea and heartworm meds.

The only thing that isn't good about it, and I think all pet insurance works this way, you have to pay up front, but you get your reimbursment check within 30 days.

Does anybody have pet insurance for their Dog/other animals ?

Q. What did you pay for it ?
Any additional info is appreciated.

A. I have pet insurance for my 3 year old beagle mix. It's about $100 per year. I have the cheaper plan with VPI, and it doesn't cover routine stuff or spaying/neutering. Still, it's really cheap and they do reimburse you for vet expenses related to accidents, illnesses or injuries. My dog ate some chicken wings once and the insurance reimbursed me for the x-rays and stuff. I really like it because I know my dog will always have the care he needs even if I don't have money. I just have it in case of emergencies, which is what it's really good for.

My dog just got hit can i ever get pet insurance?

Q. He had his leg broken pretty bad. Im paying big. I want to know if its to late to get pet insurance for him for the future.

A. Hi Rena

First, a disclaimer: I work for Embrace Pet Insurance in Cleveland, Ohio.

You can get pet insurance for your dog even though he was hit by a car. The pet insurance only covers stuff that hasn't happened yet so unfortunately your broken leg would not be covered, it is a pre-existing condition.

Typically in cases like this treatment related to your dog's broken leg would not be covered for a certain amount of time, usually the first year of a new policy. However if everything resolves satisfactorily then coverage would be re-instated for that broken leg in the second policy term (i.e. when your policy renews).

Not every pet insurance plan does things this way so be sure and check with each company to clarify.

So it is not too late to get him pet insurance for the future but you will have to bear the cost of treating his current broken leg.

I hope this helps,

What kind of pet insurance should I get for my dog?

Q. I just got a Pomeranian hes just a little pup 9 weeks old. I want to take it to the vet this week and I wanted to know what the most affordable insurance there is? What does it cover? (shoots, checkups)

A. One suggestion I have for you is to get a free quote from all the top websites. A good quote and compare site is here: http://www.trupanionpetinsurance.com/why_choose_trupanion_pet_health_insurance/quote-and-compare-companies_comparison-charts.aspx

Not all insurance companies cover routine care like shots and checkups, however if you want that included in your plan, it will make your premiums more expensive and in some cases you end up paying more through the insurance than if you were to pay for shots out of pocket.

Typically, you want insurance that is going to cover your pet's veterinary bills in case of accidents or illnesses. I would recommend checking out Trupanion Pet Insurance. They are affordable and don't have any annual limits so if your pup has a lot of bills all in one year, you can be sure it would all be covered.

Read up on some reviews and look around at the quotes and what each company covers to see what you're in for. Good luck!

Need help with choosing the right Pet Insurance for my dogs?

Q. I have two dogs. One just turned 1yr in June, and the other will be 1yr in September. I want to get pet insurance for them, but I don't know which insurance company is the best one to choose. I've heard that some company's will give you some type of discount if you have more than one dog. I've also heard that some pet insurance company's only cover a few things for a high price.

Just need someone to point me in the right direction.

Thanks

A. Here are the important factors you need to consider when looking for pet insurance:

A) What medical conditions are covered?

The pet insurance plan you select should cover both accidents and illness.

The illness part of the coverage must include: (these are common ailments in veterinary
medicine)

1) Coverage for Cancer

3) Coverage for Chronic Disease
Chronic diseases are illnesses that have long duration and generally slow progression. Chronic diseases are usually not curable. Examples include: cancer, heart disease, chronic kidney disease, and chronic liver disease.

3) Continual Coverage for Chronic Disease
If you do not get this coverage, the chronic disease will only be covered in the policy year it was diagnosed, after that, you will have to pay for any continuing medications or diagnostic monitoring yourself. Treatment for most Chronic diseases will last beyond the first year of diagnosis.

4) Coverage for Hereditary & Congenital Diseases

5) Coverage for Diseases that are Common to your Pet's Breed

B) What medical conditions are excluded. Read the company's terms and conditions very closely as there can be some very surprising exclusions?

C) What is the maximum payout limit structure, amount and limits. The maximum payout limit is the maximum amount the insurance company will reimburse you. This payout limit can be annually, lifetime or for each incident. You want the maximum payout limit you pick to be able to cover the "worst case scenario costs" for your geographic location.

You also want to make sure that there are no monetary limits on the 5 illness components discussed above. Some companies will put a limit on the amount of your maximum payout you can receive for chronic conditions, hereditary/congenital diseases, etc. These limits are usually not enough to cover most conditions in geographic locations with medium to high "worst case scenario costs".

A three great places to do your research are :

1) http://www.petinsurancereview.com - a list of customer reviews
2) http://www.pet-insurance-university.com - a site I created that compares the pros and cons of each company and discusses the information above in more detail.
3) http://www.petinsuranceguideus.com - a site created by another vet who is also committed to helping pet owners make educated decisions regarding pet insurance.

I hope this helps you.
